Not able to view bloomsky timelapse block

[Fraggboy]

Hello.

So, I have traced it down to running the site via https. As of now, it's showing a strange error (Shown below).

I have tracked it down to the bsCache.txt file. The URL's to AWS is http. When I replace all to https, it works great. I checked bloomskyTimelapseBlock.php and changed all http to https. It breaks the block.

Does anyone know of a way to modify the code so when it updates the text file, it uses https?

So, I have come up with a workaround for now. I created a simple script that finds and replaces http with https every 30 minutes via cron.

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/\bhttp\b/https/g'  bsCache.txt

The videos are showing up correctly on my page.

EDIT: Had to modify the code a bit.

So, my script modifies the time/date stamp check in bloomskyTimelapseBlock.php.

Code: Select all

if(file_exists("cache/bsCache.txt")){
		if (time()-filemtime("cache/bsCache.txt") > 60 * 60) {
			unlink("cache/bsCache.txt");

I am at a loss in how to get this fixed..

EDIT: I have modified my cronjob to every 60 minutes which is working good now.

Hi Christopher, just to let you know that your Bloomsky video is visible right now, I'm guessing you've gone back to HTTP mode. I think this is going to be one of those questions for Jachym to answer.

Johnny,

I modified the cron job to run every hour since I believe the script checks for modification every 60 minutes.

I need Jachym's assistance.

If you just echo the raw output of the API do you see everything ok?

[Fraggboy]

The API data is correct. It's just that all of the requests to amazon are http. When I modify it to https it works great.

As of now, my cronjob is working much better since I have it run every 60 minutes.
